Children without a home not only don't have the support of family around them, but usually they do not get to celebrate holidays like the rest of us. Therefore, the Kiwanis Club of Ahwatukee with friends and neighbors sponsor foster care group homes for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
Generally a dinner coordinator plans on serving 10-12 people in a group home. Coordinators use restaurants or delis like Cracker Barrel, Dream Dinners, AJ's Fine Foods, Safeway, or Frys. A traditional meal is turkey and/or ham, three sides, dinner rolls with butter, three pumpkin or apple pies with whipped cream, and a beverage. Side dishes vary: mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey dressing, green bean or corn casserole, sweet potatoes-yams, fruit salad or green salad with dressing. Sparkling cider and soda pop are popular.
Please become a meal coordinator to make Thanksgiving so very special. This is a beautiful and memorable event for all - kids sit around a table, enjoying turkey and all the trimmings - while feeling cared for, special, and loved.
Please email info@ahwatukeekiwanis.org for more information.
We depend on community support for meal coordinators who will arrange for and deliver a restaurant or store - bought meal, including a beverage and holiday themed table settings for our foster kids and their chaperones. You may sponsor a home or part of one for $275 or less. If you would like to adopt a group home or contribute, please contact us.
